I've installed easyphp 2.01b and tried to install drupal by going in the local server (all my files are on my usb key H:\ i know thats not what we usually do but that s important for my work to be mobile. on my c:\ theres the same problem).

so i click on the drupal-5.3 file to begin the installation under windows : the answer is

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in H:\EasyPHP 2.0b1\www\drupal-5.3\includes\file.inc on line 644

i guess there is a configuration thing that i missed. i dont find the answer in the different forums. thanks helping me

I'm having the same issue except on a different line. Please help!

Error Message:
--------------

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\drupal-5.12\includes\file.inc on line 643

I searched other comments, the FAQs, etc. and many suggested it was a PHP thing (side note: I didn't include the "file.inc" part and the proposed solutions were for other *.inc files), so I adjusted timeout seconds and also the amount PHP uses for memory, especially since I have an old develop machine.

However, none of them have helped and I still get the same message.

I had the same problem, i went on the net and after a lot pages i found this one

the soluce

And it works. You have to go one location of drupal/sites/default folder then found the file defaulf.setting and add new line on it

ini_set('max_execution_time', 0);

You can also use others one like
ini_set('session.cookie_lifetime', 2000000);
it's as you wish

I hope it help's you
